Fanny Levy Lobree was a sister of Phoebe Levy Cerf. Her husband, David Lobree, is wearing a Prussian Army uniform. He was a Ulan, which means horseman. Fanny was born in 1842 in Metzervisse, France, and died in 1897. David was born in Poland in 1838 and died in 1910. His father's full name was Ahron Lubranczyk.
The Lobrees were first merchants in the towns of Clayton and Martinez in Contra Costa County, California. After David and Fanny married in San Pablo, California, they moved to Middletown in Lake County, California, where David operated a general store and worked as a Wells Fargo agent. David's nephew, Louis Lobree, was a business partner of Aaron Cerf's at their store in Willits, Mendocino County, California.
Thank you so much for posting these photos! I'm a direct descendant of Fanny and David through one of their daughters... My family has a photo of David, but until today, I'd never seen what Fanny looked like!
